[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]And one more question, supercar. Don't you find it strange that the Late Dynastic Gizeh "E" series, clusters with either europeans or west africans depending on the method? [/QUOTE]We've gone over the limitations of Giza E series before... http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=001888;p=1 [IMG]http://www.arch.soton.ac.uk/StaffFiles/All/srz.jpg[/IMG] Dr. [URL=http://www.arch.soton.ac.uk/People/default.asp?Staff=srz] Sonia Zakrzewski[/URL]. Department of Archaeology, University of Southampton, UK. [i] Previous studies have compared biological relationships between Egyptians and other populations, mostly using the [b]Howells global cranial data set.[/b] In the current study, by contrast, the biological relationships within a series of temporally-successive cranial samples are assessed. The data consist of 55 cranio-facial variables from 418 adult Egyptian individuals, from six periods, ranging in date from c. 5000 to 1200 BC. These were compared with the 111 Late Period crania (c. 600-350 BC) from the Howells sample. Principal Component and Canonical Discriminant Function Analyses were undertaken, on both pooled and single sex samples. The results suggest a level of local population continuity exists within the earlier Egyptian populations, but that this was in association with some change in population structure, reflecting small-scale immigration and admixture with new groups. Most dramatically, the results also indicate that the Egyptian series from [b]Howells global data set are morphologically distinct from the Predynastic and Early Dynastic Nile Valley samples (especially in cranial vault shape and height), and thus show that this sample CANNOT BE CONSIDERED to be a typical Egyptian series.[/b][/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
